An Inside Job

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES NO.1 BESTSELLER

Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon must solve the perfect crime in the dazzling new tale of murder, greed, and corruption from #1 New York Timesbestselling novelist Daniel Silva.

Sometimes the only way to recover a stolen masterpiece is to steal it back ...

Gabriel Allon has been awarded a commission to restore one of the most important paintings in Venice. But when he discovers the body of a mysterious woman floating in the waters of the Venetian Lagoon, he finds himself in a desperate race to recover a lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci.

The painting, a portrait of a beautiful young girl, has been gathering dust in a storeroom at the Vatican Museums for more than a century, misattributed and hidden beneath a worthless picture by an unknown artist. Because no one knows that the Leonardo is there, no one notices when it disappears one night during a suspicious power outage. No one but the ruthless mobsters and moneymen behind the theft - and the mysterious woman whom Gabriel found in a watery grave in Venice. A woman without a name. A woman without a face.
